Figure C‐ ‐16 Spatial model m perfoormance statistics for thhe CAMx CTEEX5 sensitivvity tests using the PiG ssubgrid‐scale e puff moduule (PiG). C.3.8 Gloobal Statistical Perform Figures CC‐17 and C‐18 displays th module wwith statistic cal metrics fo highest sscore. For th he FOEX met each other (‐1.2% ‐ 4.7%), 4 with t degradinng slightly across the ACM equivalennt NoPiG sce enarios. For NMSE and KSP, the CMAQ an CMAQ Kzz option has the best NM with valuues of 14.2 – 15.8 pg m for KSP, ffollowed by scores.

Figure C‐ ‐17. Global model perfoormance staatistics for thhe CAMx sennsitivity testts using the PiG subgrid‐sscale puff module m for CAAPTEX Releaase 5. The final panel in Fig gure C‐17 (boottom right) displays thee overall RANNK statisticaal metric. Thhe RANK staatistics order rs the model performance of the CAAMx configurations usingg the PiG module aas follows: 1. CMAQ/BOTT (1.95) 2. CMAQ/PPM (1.92) ( 3. TKE/PPM (1.6 67) 4. TKE/BOTT (1. 65) 5. AACM2/BOTT (1.58) 6. AACM2/PPM ( 1.56) 7. OOB70/PPM (1 1.35) 8. OOB70/BOTT ( 1.34) Consistennt with the NoPiG N scenaarios for CTEX5, CAMx peerformance using the CMMAQ Kz option for verticcal mixing is the best perrforming verrtical diffusioon algorithmm overall for both the sppatial and global statistical analyses annd the choicee of advectioon solver has a much smmaller effect on model peerformance compared too vertical difffusion. 21
